A colleague and I saw this movie because we thought the plot was very interesting and somehow original, the movie starts promising, but the minutes pasts and nothing happens, and nothing happens, sometimes gets very boring, we were expecting a more fluid romance, flirting, or some sensual scenes. And besides this we didn't identify with her pain and her grief, the story gets boring and boring. If you expect a reckless affair don't watch this movie.

I thought the mom would faint when she found out. Lmao I don't get much connection between these women or the family. It's slooooooow. One of those I have on as background noise.

There is a little disconnect in Heartland. The opening, the main story (once the brother and girlfriend arrive), and the end. The three are related but a bit disjointed.especially the ending which goes off in a rather unexpected and not totally well developed, even if somehow satisfying direction.

I found the depiction of small town events to be quite convincing for the most part in particular the picnic scene and the sales pitch for a multilevel marketing product was so spot on.

The main romance section was well done and convincing as was the eventual reveal even if the aftermath will leave one head scratching and a suffering bit of whiplash. Despite that it was the right ending.

All that said it was a good effort well paced and acted.
